Irrigation and Railroads.
From Portland TolCKram,' April 3i.
F. W. Leadbetter, of Yakima,
who is at the head of (he well
known Yakima Irrigation Company,
and a prominent director of South
ern Oregon railroads, was in the
city today. Regarding his irriga
tion plans, Mr. Leadbetter said that
the company was making extensive
preparations to put a large force of
men at work on its Yakima ditch
as soon as the weather opens up.
"We are also going to build an ir
rigating ditch near Medford," he
said, '"which I think will he a great
benefit to Southern Oregon. It
will connect with the Rogue river,
and will ho about 40 miles Ung."
Railroad interests, he said, were
rather quiet in the state just at
present, but that with the revival
of activity in the Northwest gener
ally, Southern Oregon would come
to the front with several large rail
road movements. Mr. Leadbetter
thought that a large amount of
work would be started this summer.
but that the main work would not
be commenced until the trunk rail
roads get the world's fair off their
hands.
Farming in Northern Washington,
The following from the Madre
d'Oro shows very vividly how much
different is farming and the manner
in which it is conducted in the
Rogue river valley compared with
that of Washington. Here things
are all reversed from those portrayed
in this narrative. Our stock is well
kept none die from hard winters;
we grow our own produce; make
our own butter, lard and flour; our
fruit is abundant and our cereals
amply sufficient to supply all de
mands. If the following he a pen
picture of farming in that portion
of Washington wo feel satisfied
none hero will care for an exchange
of location. Here is the article:
Farmers in the vicinity of Oro
neglect their opportunities. A little
bay, a jag of wood and a big crop
of wild oats, which some of them
have, been industriously sowing
since kidhood, is the output of the
"farm."
Scattcriil over the surroundine
hills are their live stock when it
isn't a hard winter then it is dead
stoek. With thousands of acres of
wild hay that can le had for the
cutting, they will persist in depend
ing upon that old chestnut. "The
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb," and when there is nary a
temper, and the poor cattle have
ceased from troubling, the antique
relic of forgot ton days meekly mur
mers, "The Lord gave, and the
Lord hath taken away, hallelujah."
I know of one case where a man
owned a large band of cattle, kfpt
them corralled on short rations nnd
watered them when the spirit
moved him. Loss, reported heavy
hard winter.
Hard! The sjiow in the valley
was at no time last winter over
seven inches deep, and the cold
spell did not exceed three weeks!
Last summer it was tK hot to
cut hay; this winter too cold to cut
brush ; now thev are too tired to
skin the dead stoek.
Nearly every pound of Gutter we
use comes from Iowa. 50 cents a
pound; bacon, ham and lard from
the east; potatoes, cabbage, oats,
wheat, etc., from the reservation;
cheese, we have none; milk, nearly
all condensed.
This will change, but some of you
will not be in it The ranges will
be converted into fine farms; the
marveriek-branding industry will
v "' uraged; railroads will take
-product; land that can be had
for the taking up now will be valu
able; laws will be passed compell
ing a few of you to feed your stock,
and the rest of you will be working
for wages and telling about thfrhard
winter, "when it went 'way down
to zero, and stayed there a whole
week."
A Good Thing for Coughs and Colda.
Tho more Chamberlain's Coujh Rem
edy is used the better it is liked. We
know of no other remedy that always
irives satisfaction. It is good when you
first catch cold. It is good when your
cough is seated and your lungs are sore.
It is good in any kind of a couh. Wo
have sold twonty-Qve dozon of it and
every bottle has given satisfaction.

Strength, and Health.
If you are not fooling strong and
healthy, try Klootrio Bitters. If "la
grippe'' has loft you weak and weary,
uso Electric Bitters. This remedy
acts directly on tho livor, stomach and
kidneys, gently aiding those organs
to perform their functions. If you are
affeoted with sick headaeho, you will
find speedy and permanent relief by
taking Electric Bitters. One trial will
convince you that this is tho remedy
you need, Large bottles-only 50c. at

He Wants to Bore a Well.
Portland, Or., April 22, 1893.
Editor Medfoud Mail: I read
with no little degree of interest in
the lust issue of your p:iH.T, a com
munication from one of your citi
zens, on the need and probable val
ue of an experimental artesian well
in the Rogue River valley, and for
tho purpose of furthering that
timely suggestion and bringing out
public sentiment in the matter, I
desire, and submit a proposition to
that end as follows: In behalf of
the Pacific Well Drilling and De
velopment Company, I will put in
a well 1(XX) feet deeu at some
agreeable point, for $10.0000, 12,
500 cash to be paid in installments
as the work progresses, and $7,500
worth of "land, to be deeded when
the work is completed, provided
' that the work upon said well shall
1 be considered completed, if a suf
ficient supply of Mowing water is
had at any less depth than 1000
feet. The work will be under the
personal supervision of Mr. T. F.
Corbctt, of Pensylvania, one of the
most experienced artesian well men
on the coast, who has already put
in wells in Oregon and Washington
to a depth of 1S50 feet, and whose
reputation is a guarantee that he
will complete the work if under
taken. In support of the artesian
well system. I believe I need say
nothing beyond what your corres
pondent has already said, except
that I believe it would be a good
thing to determine whether or not
3-ou had the elements of flowing
water, before committing yourself
to an expensive canal system. If
the work was carried to the depth
mentioned, and afforded any geo
logical data, which it certainly
would, I aui confident that the nec
essary state aid could be had from
the next legislature to increase the
depth to 2UU0 feet, or even more.
Mr. Corbett and myself intend vis
iting the Rogue River valley about
May 1st, and will take pleasure, if
an opportunity is afforded, of ad
dressing the citizens upon the sub
ject. 1 ours truly, J. T. r lynx.

SINKS AXD MINING.
One of the latest finds in a min
eral way is the gold ledge located
by Messrs. W. H. Sharrineheusen,
J. R. Robinson and T. C. Hillman,
over in the Applegate country. Mr.
Robinson was in Medford Saturday
and reports that they have found a
ledge of gold bearing rock one and
a half feet in thickness, but the
length or depth of the ledee had not
been arrived at when he left. Xo
S3 so assays have been made but there is
120 20 ! gold to be seen in the rock. They"
lv; w i haTe a,so ,ocate an appeat vala
ll co i ae Pcer claim. The quartz
ledge is now being opened up.
An assay of quartz from the
Hammersley ledge near Gold Hill
makes a showing of 1333.40 to
the ton. The ledge averages 14
inches and has increased in size
from six inches to IS inches in 30
feet, which is a splendid indication
of permanency, added to the fact
that it gets a little richer as they
go down. They have cut into the
ledge in five different places 103
feet from their shaft and it is as im
mensely rich as the surface in the
shaft. The ore lays in kidneys, all
bears lots of gold, though it is a
little richer on the hanjring walls.

Tho poor man who stale a loaf of bread
the other day was required to give Mil
to the amount of (300. which is just 6.000
times as much as the value of the prop-
wii in ocvusru iu stealing, cui
when men like Eno appropriate one or
two millions to their own use they either
get away without the annoyance of giv
ing bail or the amount is put at a hun
dredth part cl the amount stolen. The
constitution prohibits excessive bail, it
is true, bnt wu not tha A900 nmniml nf
the hungry bread thief excessive? Eno
could furnish bail to the amount of 1.-
000,000 much easier. The moral is. donT
steal bread. Steal currency and govern
ment bonds and plenty of them. New
